moulding

A decorative strip of wood, plaster, or other material used to cover the joint between two surfaces, such as a wall and a ceiling. / The process of shaping a material, such as plastic or metal, by pouring it into a mould.
Noun
pl: mouldings

In architectural contexts, this term refers to the physical trim used for aesthetic transitions. It is often used interchangeably with "molding" in American English, though the "u" is standard in British English. This specific usage typically describes a tangible object that adds a finished look to a room.

When used to describe the industrial process of shaping materials, the term shifts from a physical object to a technical procedure. In this sense, it describes the act of casting or forming, often associated with mass production in plastics or metallurgy.
